US shuttle to aim for California landing

********************************EXCERPT*********************************

Posted: 12 September 2009 0439 hrs

HOUSTON, Texas - NASA told astronauts on board the space shuttle Discovery to prepare to land in California on Friday instead of at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, because of bad weather.

The switch came after rains and winds thwarted two landing opportunities Friday in Florida, and forecasters said the conditions were unlikely to ease before Saturday.

Conditions at Edwards Air Force base in Florida were expected to grow windy over the weekend, making a California landing late Friday the best course, NASA shuttle communicator Eric Boe told the shuttle astronauts.

Thanks for the Ping, Ernest. Here I didn't hear any sonic booms. I did get to see the Shuttle and ISS go overhead Tuesday night. That was cool! :)
